In that case, the latest_page_number was initialized at the start of WAL replay to the page for nextMulti from the CHECKPOINT record, even if we had not seen the CREATE_ID record for that multixid yet, which fooled the backwards compatibility logic to think that the page was already initialized. To fix, track the last XLOG_MULTIXACT_ZERO_OFF_PAGE that we've seen separately from latest_page_number. If we haven't seen any XLOG_MULTIXACT_ZERO_OFF_PAGE records yet, use SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist() to check if the page needs to be initialized.
